    Whats up with all the hate? The due under this post especially. Sure YOU might not like it but other people do, no need to start bashing it just because it doesent fit your tiny view of the world.

    Not liking something is ok, calling it garbage without any justification is not. Go fu*k yourself.

    To the haters hating on kanye, atleast check out Mr.Hudsons new single “Supernova” before hating him for no reason too.

    to the young man who said kanye is better than the beatles, you are uninformed my friend. the only point that i’ve seen that favor’s kanye’s dominance in the music industry is that he made a completely god awful album, and people will still go crazy for it. I almost want to believe that kanye made this album just to prove the point that he can put out absolute shit and people will eat it right up. then again, his ego is so big, he’s probably started to beleive that this is actually good music. i digress….

    if dude could just stop talking.. he’d be ok.

    He just steped away from that idea if you actually listened he said he wasn’t, and then referenced dude next to him as being great and not giving anybody that status.

    ps. all those quick to hate understand ur only giving them more lime light.

    I’m surprised Kanye still hasn’t confirmed / denied his love for fishsticks yet.

    just the fact that people are debating ye’s greatness means he’s doing something right.. i’m not one to ride anybody’s jock too hard but respect needs to be given for what it’s worth.. right now ye has the game on lock.. he can take a shit on a beat and people will love it..

    kanye was not talking about himself you DUMB FUCKS. he was speaking of Mr. Hudson and how he could be as big as these people are. and it doesnt matter who he was speaking of, SHOULDNT WE WANT SOMEBODY RIGHT NOW TO BE AS BIG AS THESE PEOPLE ARE SO WE CAN BE THAT EXCITED ABOUT MUSIC AND SO IT WILL KEEP PUSHING ON STRONG?

    kanye is better than michael jackson and stupid jim morrison! hes is better than the beatles too!

    ok haha.

    nothing you said had any reference to what i had previously stated. so, i guess you are just saying im lame because i don’t belive kanye will ever reach the same status as jim morrison? oh, thats weird.

    jim morrison for a revolutionary artist.
    kanye on the other hand is not. in no way am i saying kanye is bad. but i just doubt he’ll ever change the face of music quite as much as jim morrison did.

    opinions are like assholes buddy, everyones got one. maybe you shouldn’t take other peoples feelings to heart, i didn’t know you and kanye were so tight. my bad

    the problem is most ppl that listen to yeezy dont remember prince MJ madonna etc. so yeah its possible he’ll sell as many records, but he’ll never be respected or a pioneer like tina etc…..that was pure music! this is fashion/internet/hype fusion. Everyone in Africa knew MJ in the 80’s! without sattelite tv or internet! respect!

    Kanye is NOT the Michael Jackson of our time. Michael Jackon is the Michael Jackson of our time. Michael Jackson creates near riots when he steps off a plane. He can’t even walk the streets without mobs swarming him. Kanye doesn’t have a quarter of the love from the world that MJ has. Fall back.

  16. Posted by: blabla on April 30, 2009 at 2:24 pm

    The only way he could achieve that status is if he ends in a similar way to pac or biggy. or jimi or jim. Sorry thats harsh! even rundmc couldnt match MJ etc….. but who knows?

    I hope the public stops buying into his ego driven nonsense. Kanye will never be mentioned in the same sentecne with Sting, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner or Jim Morrisson unless he’s the one uttering the sentence. Give me a break.

    yeezy is the michael jackson of our time think about it.

    Sting, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner and Jim Morrison. etc came into this as superstars, and remained. If you haven’t reach that level, by 3 years, you won’t be it.

    @666 and Acricieri

    you guys are lame. gayfish? wasnt that shit barely funny 2 weeks ago. south park was gay pretty much from the get go. who the fuck really watches that shit? little ass kids and stoned losers

    kanye will only be as big as he allows himself to be. people think they have way more say in the development of artists. they don’t realize that the majority of the public are all sheep and can be manipulated. don’t worry i don’t expect anyone on hypebeast to have figured that one out.

    I thought he was gonna start letting the work speak for itself. Well, that was about a week’s worth of good. Back to the old bullshit, I guess.

    Not Mr. Gayfish… agaaaain.

    *sigh*
